Bro, I actually really needed to hear this from a practicality standpoint. I’ve been waiting and waiting for Sigma to FINALLY release a 70-200 f2.8. Still don’t understand what’s going on but I think I’m gonna have to move on the f4 Sony. I appreciate your honesty. Thank you.

Thanks for this video! I bought the Tamron a bit ago but since I do have to do a little video from time to time and it doesn't have stabilization, extends and isn't parfocal it didn't end up being the best choice. Just bought the F4 based on your and other recommendations (do not have the $$$ for the GM M2 unfortunately)! I wish they updated this one too and made it compatible with teleconverters.

I love my 70-200mm f/4 lens on both my full frame and crop sensor Sony mirrorless cameras. I have modified the lens to use an after-market tripod ring that includes a foot with ARCA Swiss capability. I also use an after market screw-in hood. It is black and not as obvious but, the two real advantages is that I can screw the hood into the front threads of a CPL filter and rotate that filter by simply turning the hood - eliminates the need for "Grinch-Like fingers" to rotate the CPL when the hood is attached additionally; I can clip on a 72mm lens cap to the front of the hood.

Agree that the f4 is a great lens for outdoors/indoors with good light. But many of us shoot in questionable lighting conditions indoors and a stop is everything when you need to use fast shutter speeds. So you end up buying a 135 for those situations which can be amazing but the net cost ends up around the 70-200 2.8 range. So ultimately it boils down to the quality of light you have for indoor sports, and as a fellow Canadian, that’s often half the year.

Great take - I think it can totally be situational! On my end using a camera like a Sony A7SIII, I’m not often in much need of the extra stops at times, but I get that’s a luxury I have with my particular camera, that not everyone has ofc. Thanks for commenting this!

My biggest question is how do you nail exposure with a f/4 aperture? I feel like even with a 2.8, since I’m shooting 120 fps and hoping to crank my shutter a little more, then I need the 2.8 purely for lighting in some of these basketball gyms
@pchr7097
Жыл бұрын
Well it definitely depends, like my camera has dual iso, iso 800 and iso 2500, when I use my f4 i use cinetone with my fx30 and select 2500, even with 2500 it shouldn’t be hard to get good exposure when i crank it up in editing but it definitely depends on what kind of camera you have!

@Juan Morales That is not the point. The point is that if you are a pro the comparatively small price difference is irrelevant. What is important is superior flexibility. If you are a pro then the difference of getting a shot versus not getting a shot is way more significant than what essentially amounts to a few dollars per shoot in terms of hardware costs. This is different from an amateur, where they are not making money from shooting and likely have other financial constraints. If the 2.8 was 10 or 20 times more expensive then cost would be a consideration depending on how well paid your gigs were, but the price differential of these two lenses is too small to shift a proper professional IMO. A pro should be getting the 2.8. I realize that the people watching your videos are not professionals, but still, you need to frame these sorts in discussions very much in terms of personal affordability. The 2.8 is a better lens and if you can afford it, that is the one you should get. Anyone who is a real pro should be able to afford the 2.8, and if they can't they really need to find a new better paying line of work.
